The success of the Michael<\/em> biopic continues to drive huge streaming numbers for Michael Jackson\u2019s music catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the third consecutive week, Michael Jackson has broken his own personal streaming record in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Billboard<\/a> \/ Luminate<\/a><\/strong>, Michael\u2019s solo catalogue earned an incredible 181.6 million official on-demand streams<\/strong> during the May 1-7 tracking week, marking another major increase from the previous week\u2019s 137.6 million streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading the way once again was Billie Jean, which generated 14.8 million streams<\/strong> during the week. The song has also surged back up the Billboard Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other major hits from Thriller also saw massive streaming numbers, including Beat It and Human Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early figures suggest the momentum is continuing, with Michael\u2019s catalogue already surpassing 86 million streams<\/strong> in just the first few days of the following tracking week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than four decades after the release of Thriller<\/em>, Michael Jackson\u2019s music continues to dominate streaming platforms around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
